Naked fruit juice is... 1) Tasty2) Made with Real Fruit3) A great example of how fancy packaging and false advertisement can gain popularity and mislead consumers.

What's in Naked Juice:Natural Naked Fruit Juice- Pomegranate Acai (15.2oz)-Serving size= 8oz-Servings per container= 2One 15.2 oz. bottle contains:-4 Servings of fruit-320 calories-62g sugar (naturally occurring from the fruit) about 15.5teaspoons of sugar-0% Vit C-2% Vit A-0% FiberThe Problems With Naked Fruit Juice-High calorie/sugar-Quickly can increase caloric intake – weight gain if not compensated for-Low-nutrient beverage-No benefits from the fruit used (raw fruits are high in Vit A and Vit C) to make the beverage are in the drink-Little to no vitamins (pasteurization and oxidization) used to make product eliminate all the vitamins-Fiber in fruit skin is filtered out when juice is made (fiber is beneficial in weight control because it gives you a fullness factor that after pulp has been removed for the juice the fiber is eliminated/ fiber also helps you poop regularly)Suggestion:Treat the juice as a treatEat raw fruit instead to get all the vitamins and fiberJuice your own juice so you control what goes into it and how you prepare it

My ThoughtsI really am disappointed with Naked Fruit Juice company and they way their bottle fooled even me!I always thought that Naked Fruit Juice was a great way to get eat my fruits for the day in liquid form, and get all the antioxidants and fiber from the fruits pictured on the bottle. Now knowing that none of that is in the juice I no longer purchase the drink. After doing research on my own, I feel cheated and I want more people to be aware of the lies Naked Juice company is selling.

I made a list of Naked Fruit Juice flavors you should not buy

and another list of Naked Fruit Juice flavors you should choose instead

I looked at the nutrition labels for each drink Naked offers on www.nakedjuice.com I compiled this list of the juices with the poorest source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C

They make 33 varieties of Fruit Juices and 16 of them fall on the list of low vitamin content

Since all Naked juices cost the same ($4.00), get your moneys worth and pick the ones that have beneficial attributes added to them by purchasing those on the "flavors you should choose" list

Don't pay $4.00 for A Naked Juice product on the first list below

Because for that money and the type of quality you are getting in a 15.2oz bottle of Naked Juice you might as well buy:

5lb bag of sugar for $2.89

11 packets of Kool-aid mix $1.10

=make 5.5 gal of kool-aid drink (It will last you a very long time)

of course I am just making a joke but it is true

These flavors of Naked Fruit Juice are....An expensive mixture of water and sugarNothing more nothing less.
